I have a Nashville 112 that i really like.
But i recieved the mod kit from Ken Fox today,I put them in tonight and it came alive.I cant belive the diffrence they made.I liked it so much that i ordered another Nashville 112 and it to will have the mods in it.Just for a back up.
If some of you have the Nashville 112 without the mods in it do yourself a big favor and get them in it.You wont be sorry!!  |

Sorry, Dan, I tried the new chips and took them back out as I didn't like it. I couldn't find an EQ setting that I liked after the mod. I used it on two jobs after the chip replacement and on both jobs I was constantly changing the EQ trying to find my tone.
However, I bought the NV112 for it's sound (and the weight) not for modifying. |

The mod on the 112 is so subtle you must have a good ear to notice the difference, that is the way I hear it.

Mine too has a much warmer sound with the chips in.I would guess some pickups might respond differently than others  |

Mine feels more responsive with the mods. And my drops dont get as washed out as they usually do. More clarity is what I hear.
Feels more woody, like the way a hollow body guitar feels to me.

| I find it warmer and cleaner and also the reverb seems to be better, before the mod about 4 on the reverb was all i coud take but now 5 or 6 with no problem, does that make any since? |

Dan, I don't know about the volume level, but I set my NV112 input level at 4 and the Master at 5 or 6.
But, with the OPA2604 chips it was "cleaner" but also seemed "sterile" and I could never find the "sweet spot" for the EQ.
I'm also an electronics/computer tech and an ex amp tech so I probably take a different view of changes than a non-tech would. I don't view ALL changes or modifications as bad, just for my personal use this particular change was not needed for me. |

Try setting the MID @ -5 and the sift @ 800hz.
That is the sweet spot for me. |

| Curt, I tried controls at many different points. My basic setting is 800 and -2 to -3 on the mid. It will be different with different guitars. My guitar is a Franklin with Lawrence 710 pickups. |

Yes I do not play the 112 loud, it is set on 1 and Jack stoner said it is to loud have to use the volume pedal a lot to keep it quit enough.

I just installed this last week, and I noticed a big difference when I actually used the amp out on a gig... and I noticed the same thing on the reverb, using a higher setting than I previously did.... and what Curt said about gutting the mids and setting 800MHz on the EQ... all in all I was very pleased with the new tone and response of the NV 112 after Ken's mod!
As I just posted on another topic, the Fender Custom 15 Twin Reverb is my favorite amp... but I find the NV 112 perfect for those small venues, and after the mod I'll probably be using mine even more.
